ordering a new trailer..

[Sackett2]

Had the old 16 foot for 12 years now and it has done well. we are right on the max weight with the tractor; but the mower hangs over, and now have 3 quads to tote around so we decided to upgrade.

18.6ft__HD__10K__FLATBED TRAILER___"TILT-BED"____new 2012-

the 20.5 foot is only 100 dollars more.

we get to pick and choose the configuration so our plans include
no stake pockets
6 hd d rings
spare tire holder
pressure treated deck with gaps (in Oregon we need gaps)
the cross members will be closer together

the one vanity item is i'm going to have it painted the same color as dads 2008 Dodge truck.

Anyway, excited about this.....

Thats a good price for a tilt bed car hauler. I just received my 20 foot car (tractor -no tilt) hauler from Trout Trailers in Porter Texas. It is a 12K GVW with 16" tires x 10 ply, dual 6000# axles with brakes on both axles with heavy duty jack on front with side wind, spare tire carrier and spare 10 ply tire, heavy duty rear stowaway ramps, 2 foot dove tail delivered to my daughters house with a temp. license tag for $3150 which was the best price I could find

Those are some good looking trailers. I just had this one built, it's axles are only rated for 7500 pounds. And its not tilt, those are nice.

Nice wheels on that one. I have not heard of a 7500#rating dual wheel axles. Is it dual 3500# axles? or 5200# with deduction in capacity to 7500 net. Standard axle ratings are 2000, 3500, 5200, 6000 and 7000 for utility trailers.

5 bolt rims, so I would guess 3500# axles and 500# of tongue weight.

Shoot man, maybe 7000#. 3500# axles I think is correct. But my buddy who built it said 7500, he may have mistakenly said that. But he did say if I ever wanna heavier trailer just some axles would be all I need. Trailer is built heavy out of tubing. It was manufactured at a place that usually just builds boat trailers.

Post some pictures with it hooked up to your dads truck when you get a chance. It sounds like a nice trailer and a good price.

NO Stake Pockets -25.00

Why no stake pockets?

Why no stake pockets?

I was thinking the same thing. makes a trailer so much more versatile IMO.
